End Device Tracking Add-On for Cacti

[Allen K]

TheWitness,
I did PM you with a question, happy to help with this project

[knobdy]

Looks like you might be running in PHP Safe mode, or the force option is being improperly passed to exec background, which I can't see happening.

TheWitness

I checked the php.ini file (both of them) and safe mode is turned off.

Any ideas on how to check the other issue? Remember I'm a noob - and more than happy to try this stuff out a report back what I find, just need some hand holding.

I am running this on an "unusual" platform - which may or may not be of some benefit to you all. OpenSuSE 10 on an IBM pSeries 710.

[TheWitness]

I would suspect a PHP build issue. Do you have any cabletron Sehi's? If you don't have Cacti 0.8.6h (currently in beta) installed, you may have issues with reaching snmbbulkwalk. It is saved under Settings->Paths.

Nothing from cabletron here.

If you don't have Cacti 0.8.6h (currently in beta) installed, you may have issues with reaching snmbbulkwalk. It is saved under Settings->Paths.

I added the path to snmpbulkwalk and that obviously helped. Still, I get:

Getting closer, I think!

[UPDATE]

Going to the MacTrack tab in Cacti I see that I DO have data now!

It's only for the one switch, but its something. The switch that showed up is the one with the MSFC installed, perhaps that has something to do with it (though it only says the others timed out)?

[TheWitness]

Try SNMPv1 instead of SNMPv2 and see if that helps. I may have to add a device field for the max bulkwalk size. That seems to be an issue with some devices. I currently have it set to 50. If you look at the mactrack_walk function, you will see the following "-Cr50" if you change it to something like "-Cr10", do the timeouts go away?

I'll try the other as well, just to see, but this is appears to have done better thus far (still running). Two bugs on g:
1. When updating an already defined device, there is still the "Create" button, clicking it does update the device but you get a save failed error (known bug I believe)

2. Choosing All-All-All gives me one page for the one switch thus far. All-All-Most Recent gives me the entire switch (5 pages thus far).

Okay, it finished while I was typing. I have all of the devices now using v1.; Want me to go back to v2 and change the rate/option you mentioned and try again?

I got every blade back on all but one switch - which only returned one blade....getting closer still...

[TheWitness]

Yes please..

[quote="TheWitness"]If you look at the mactrack_walk function, you will see the following "-Cr50" if you change it to something like "-Cr10", do the timeouts go away?[/quote

I changed this in /mac_track/lib/mactrack_functions.php and changed the devices back to v2.

It changed the response to:

The actual option, btw, that I found was -Ccr as opposed to -Cr.

[TheWitness]

Hmm, you might keep trying to work that out, but it looks like a buggy snmp agent to me. V1 is slower, but likely your fix.

TheWitness

[knobdy]

Okay, how about this: I've now added 7 devices. The devices page only shows 5 of them (the first five added) but the poller checks 7 and the page header says it's displaying 1-7 of 7.[/img]

Hello All,

I really like this plugin, it's a really usefull addon. This plugin is working for me at the 3550 and 3750 cisco switches. But on a 3524 I always get 0 active ports.

I have added the 3500XL from the sysDecr to the mactrack_scanner.php.
Both SNMP v1 and v2 have been tried.

Any suggestions to get this running on the 3524 ?

Below you wil find a few lines from a php '/var/www/html/cacti/plugins/mac_track/mactrack_scanner.php -d -id=12' command to a 3524 switch.

Still using v2 I've change the -Ccr option to 1 and nothing times out. What is that option, what does it do?

However, on the one switch, a 4006, its still only collecting data for one blade? On the other 4006 it collects data for all blades.

{Addition}

I had to go into phpMyAdmin and add the site for the two switches not showing up on the devices page. Once that was one, they showed up.

I also had to use it to add the vendor name to a device type I had created - when I clicked save it would simply reset the field.

{question}
What does the scanning function do on a device type? I assume it just calls different commands for different types of devices? Is it possible to device a way for mactrack to querry wireless devices (we have cisco aps here, which do run IOS)?

Is there a way to clear out all of the current data that has been collected?

[Dwayne_Dibbley]

All working now. Is End device IP Address working ?

Thanks

[TheWitness]

I am very close. Once 0.8.6h is released, I will provide a "new" product.
